Galaxy S5 4G+ with Snapdragon 805 launching in Singapore on Aug 23

Samsung has confirmed to launch the Galaxy S5 4G+ on August 23 that will complement the launch day of SingTel’s world’s first commercial 300Mbps 4G LTE-Advanced service in Singapore.

The Galaxy S5 4G+ will be the first handset to support the high-speed network and though it is powered by Qualcomm’s 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor just like the Korean variant, both phones differ in some aspects.

The Galaxy S5 4G+ – which we assume will be sold in other LTE-A markets as well – will feature a 5.1-inch Full HD (1920×1080) Super AMOLED display and 2GB RAM in comparison with the Korean Galaxy S5 LTE-A that comes with a WQHD resolution support (2560×1440) and 3GB RAM. We’re not sure of the exact reason but Samsung could have wanted a limited market to test the WQHD display reception.
